"Police: Workers Gave Elderly Patients Laxatives To Prank Next Shift Patients Suffered Pain, Rectal Bleeding
IRVINE, Ky. -- What is being described as a "prank" that occurred last year has resulted in serious accusations against two former nursing home employees from Irvine.
Lisa Kilburn, 27, and Kim Congleton, 30, were both certified nursing assistants at Irvine Health and Rehabilitation Center. They're accused of giving laxatives to patients who did not need them, including older and medically fragile people. The patients suffered pain and rectal bleeding.
Attorney General Greg Stumbo said the intended targets of the prank were nursing assistants on the next shift. Stumbo called the conduct an outrage to human decency and dignity.
The two women were fired and face criminal abuse charges that carry prison terms and fines. They'll be arraigned Oct. 6."
How often can you say, "That shit's not even a little funny," and really mean it?
